Pupils at the launch
Children from St Oswald’s School in Great Horton, have launched their new heritage trail in honour of madcap performer and poet, Wild Willi Becket, who died almost four years ago, aged 59.
Wild Willi’s former home in Ramsden Court, Great Horton, was the launch pad for the trail which traces the history of the area.
He was a member of the city’s alternative arts set with his band Psycho Surgeons and a leading light of the Bradford Soup Run. Psycho Surgeons were the first western group to play in East Germany and the Czech Republic when the Iron Curtain came down.
